I’m Melissa, I’m 17 and my dream came true on…
I’m Melissa, I’m 17 and my dream came true on November 20th, 2012. My experience began on June 2nd when the Believe Tour tickets went on sale. I was there, like all of you, as soon as they went on sale trying to buy tickets. Unfortunately, I was out of luck. I was so heartbroken. I had to go to my softball game right after that and I cried the whole way there. I was broken at the fact that I wasn’t going to see Justin when he came to my city. June 4th comes around and that night they were giving away tickets to his concert on 96.1 Kiss. I knew I had to enter, it was my last resort. At 5:45, I got my phone ready and my mom’s as well. Before I knew it, my mom’s phone was ringing and I was talking to the radio guy, I had been the 9th caller! After I got off the phone with him, I hugged my mom as tight as I could as she said, “You’re going to see Justin Bieber!!” November rolls around and I realize that it’s time to buckle down and focus on trying to meet Justin. After talking to some beliebers on Twitter, I realized that I could still enter the meet & greet contest on Bieberfever for my show. I didn’t have a membership yet so I joined right away! You had to send in a picture of your Bieber merchandise for the contest. The night came where I found out if I won or not. I got home from school and did nothing productive whatsoever because I could not focus on anything but the contest so I kept refreshing my email every 10 minutes. I refreshed my email at 5:29 pm and there the email was in my inbox. I open it up and read the first two words “Congratulations, Melissa!” I think at that moment I stopped breathing. The only person that was home that night was my brother so I ran as fast as I could upstairs to his room, jumped on him, balled my eyes out and said, “I’m meeting Justin Bieber.” The next day, concert day, rolls around and it was a long school day to say the least. My friend and I left as soon as we got home. We went to the box office, picked up our wristbands and headed to the area where we waited. Then we were sent up the escalator to get in line. I saw Kenny while I was in line and I yelled “Hi Kenny!” but he wasn’t paying attention, awkward lol . We got to the front of the line, my friend & I and two little girls plus their moms, except the moms told us they didn’t want in the picture. It didn’t seem like I was in line to meet Justin; it hadn’t clicked for me yet. We were sent up to the curtain and then told to go in. I was the first to walk in and as I turned that corner, I saw him and he didn’t seem real at first. Then I saw him move and it clicked. My mind totally blanked. All that came out of me was “Hi” & he responded with an unforgettable “Hi love.” His voice though, it was so deep and sexy. But anyways, he’s flawless. Angelic. Perfect. I immediately went to the side of him, put my arm around him, he put his arm around me and we took the picture. To be honest, I don’t even remember taking a picture or even smiling! We then left the curtain and I didn’t know what to say, utterly speechless. I could not believe, after 3 years, that my dream had just come true. It was so surreal. Tears just streamed down my face and I hugged my friend with every bit of happiness in me . We went down the escalator and into the line to buy our shirts. I called my mom, my brother, my friends. I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the night. The concert was so so amazing like always. We didn’t have the best seats, but that didn’t matter to me. Honestly, there’s not a bad seat at a Justin Bieber concert. ‘Fall’ & ‘Be Alright’ were completely flawless. ‘One Time/Eenie Meenie’ brought back so many memories. ‘Boyfriend’ was perfect. And, well, ‘Baby’ couldn’t have ended the concert any better. I am SO blessed & thankful for this whole experience. I still don’t know how I got so lucky to win both of these contests. I just want to tell whoever is reading this: “Do not give up on your dreams. Do not. I was tempted so so many times to give up on meeting Justin. It seems like the easy way out. But if you work for it and try your hardest to pursue your dream, it’ll pay off. You’ll get closer and closer to it. It may even come true one day, like mine did.” Every belieber deserves to experience what I did on November 20th; to meet that boy you’ve seen on TV, that boy you’ve watched hundreds of YouTube videos of, that boy that is your idol, your everything….So never say never.
